Scott McLaughlin Obituary
Vermont Army National Guard, Sergeant E-5 Scott Paul McLaughlin – 29, died Thursday, September 22, 2005 in Ramadi, Iraq while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Born in Berlin on June 18, 1976, he was the son of Kevin and Vickie (Wells) McLaughlin. On August 5, 2000, he married the former Nicole Renee MacIver in West Bolton.
Scott was a 1994 graduate of Mount Mansfield Union High School and enlisted in the U.S. Marines. Following his discharge, Scott worked as a cutting technician for Cadcut in Middlesex where he was currently employed. Continuing his military service, Scott joined the Army National Guard, Company C, 1st Battalion of the 172nd Armed Regiment of Morrisville with whom he was currently serving in Iraq as members of Task Force Saber.
Known for his quick smile and gentle, kindhearted spirit, Scott was most at home in the woods enjoying hunting and fishing. He cherished his wife, Nicole; their children, Tyler and Molly and the time spent with family and friends. Church played an integral role in Scott’s life, attending with his family at Living Hope Wesleyan Fellowship (formerly the Standard Church) in Waterbury Center.
Scott is survived by his wife, Nicole, and their children, Molly Marlene McLaughlin and Tyler Scott McLaughlin, all of Hardwick; his father and mother, Kevin and Vickie McLaughlin of West Bolton; his paternal grandmother, Esther McLaughlin of Cincinnati, Ohio; his sister, Shalena Hansen and her husband, Scott of West Bolton; his bother, John P. McLaughlin and his wife, Patricia Gray-McLaughlin of Underhill; as well as a large and loving extended family.
Funeral services will be held from Hunger Mountain Christian Assembly, Route 100, Waterbury Center on Saturday at 1 p.m. Friends may call at the church on Friday from 5 – 8 p.m. The family requests that flowers be omitted; rather for those who wish, memorial gifts would be appreciated to TD Banknorth, PO Box 360, Waterbury, VT 05676, to be used for the care and education of Scott’s children. To send on-line condolences, please visit www.perkinsparker.com. Arrangements are in the care of the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home in Waterbury.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the McLaughlin Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

reborn and shivering
settled on new terrain
unsure, unkind, insane
it's faint and shaken
day one day one
start over again
step one, step one
im barely making sense
for now im faking it
Til i'm psuedo-making it
from scratch, begin again
but this time I as I
and not as we
never forget..
those who fight is always we...never I
and never forgoten the ones we leave behind....

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Scott, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To family of Scott P. McLaughlin,
Just read about the death of your loved one.I can honestly say I know how it feels as I am still missing my mother. Jesus proved that our loved ones can be rescued from death in God's due time. Please be assured that he cares an has the power to do so.John11:11,25,44 The Bible shows that eventhough this account took place centuries ago, it demonstrates what God has promised to do for our loved one soon.
May 9, 2008
You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc McLaughlin!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To the Family of Spc. Scott P. McLaughlin:
Your son's name, along with our sons, is forever together on a Memorial standing at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, PA. Their dogtags hang together forever moving with the wind creating a subtle sound, like the quiet whispers of the Fallen as they continue to speak to us. Attending this Memorial Dedication and hearing your child's name being read along with ours, has prompted me to sign this soldier's guestbook.
If your child can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 as well and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for right now. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten . You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Those we love can never be, more than a thought apart....
For as long as there is memory, They'll live on in the heart.
May the memories of your loved one, live in your heart always.

We share in your loss of "Scooter": We would like to share a portion of our son's e-mail: Eric is in the same platoon in Ramadi: "I lost a friend yesterday. Scott "Scooter" McLaughlin was young. He was one of those "smile all the time" type of guys. Always a friendly word & never a complaint. I spent nine hrs.(on a mission) thinking about family, friends and good times. Scooter was all about that. He left behind many good memories with the people he came in contact with. No better legacy could a person leave behind.
To his family: May God help you through this difficult time.

You and your children are very special to your Grampa and Grammy MacIver. Bill and I are good friends of your grandparents and have heard super stories about you, Scott and the children. Scott certainly loved you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the children.

My heart goes out to Scott's family. I have never met Scott but reading his obituary, I felt a kinship with him. I am a Vermonter living in Minnesota. My mother's family lived in the Morrisville area for several generations. They also lived on Blush Hill in Waterbury for a time.
The love of family, the woods, and nature which is so evident in Scott's obituary may also be what will help you all through this horrible grief. Please know that many people are keeping you in prayer, even people who are strangers to you, like me.

Here is a poem by Mary Frye that we hope brings you & your family some comfort:
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die."
Bless You.

May God bless you in a very special way, as He took a very special person from this world to be with Him. I thank God every day for men like your son who are willing to fight for our freedom and the freedom of oppressed nations. I know Scott has made a difference in every life he has touched. God bless everyone in his family
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus,
our Lord and Savior. Amen.
“I’ll lend you for a little while
A child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while he lives
And mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, or
Twenty two or three,
But will you ’til I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his days be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lane
I have selected you.
Now will you give all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take him back again?”
I fancy that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy this child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run;
We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him,
Much sooner then we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes.
And try to understand.” -Edgar Albert Guest

Kevin and Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Scott's passing and your loss. You have our deepest condolences. Words mean very little at a time like this. Family and close friends will help you through this ordeal. You should be immensely proud of Scott. He, like many Vermonters that have gone before him, has made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Freedom. Freedom is something so many people in this country take for granted. As we know, Freedom is never free! The passage of time will help heal your wound. We know you will cherish the memories of the time he spent in this world. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and your family.

Nicki, Tyler & Molly,
Bryan and I can’t even express how sorry we are for the loss of Scott. We just couldn’t believe it when we heard the news. We both love you and Scott so much and believed that he’d be back safely. We are happy that we have many memories of all of us, especially the night we all went to Barre, and the one I’ll always have of me eating all of his Nutter Butters the night of his going away party, which I told him I’d replace and I never did, but he didn’t seem to care. As long as I was happy!
I found this poem which really reminded me a lot of you and Scott.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often time we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile. Because it takes only a smile.... to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart laugh. Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be. Because you have only one life.... One chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet. Enough trials to make you strong. Enough sorrow to keep you human. With enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything.... that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. To those who have touched your life in one way or another. To those who make you smile when you really need it. To those who make you se the brighter side of things when you are down. To those whose friendship you appreciate. To those who are so meaningful in your life.
Don’t count the years... Count the memories....
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moment that take our breath away!
If there is ANYTHING at all I can do for you guys, please let me know. We love you very much and my heart and prayers go out to you.
Love always
Amy, Bryan & Makaylin.

Dear McLaughlin family,
My sincerest condolences to you at the loss of your loved one. I know that there are no words that I can say at this time that will ease your pain, but please know that you and Scott are in my thoughts and prayers. Your family, and Scott specifically have paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Please know that Scott is a hero and will forever be remembered as such. God bless you, and may you find comfort in the friends and family that surround you at this time.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Scott McLaughlin. Scott was a good-natured, gentle man who loved God & country. His love of life and others was evident by the sorrow he expressed in seeing the Iraqi children begging for food and water and not being able to freely reach out due to the dangerous circumstances. Scott wasn't in Iraq because he wanted to kill Iraqi's-- Scott was there to preserve freedom in the country he loved - and he made the ultimate sacrifice proving it.
